Streets for Kids by Kids: Supporting All-Ages Engagement and Youth-Centered Design
A panel discussion exploring youth engagement in the citymaking process.
On November 1, 2, and 3 GDCI hosted three webinars about the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI). These sessions provided an overview of the program, who’s eligible, the application process, and gave city leaders an opportunity to ask questions.
A panel discussion exploring youth engagement in the citymaking process.
In this webinar featuring city planning, education, and road safety experts from across the globe, participants will learn first-hand how to reset the practices for streets outside of schools, ensure physical distancing, adapt drop-off and pick-up zones, and identify quick and efficient solutions that can be rolled out at a larger scale.
Learn to look at streets through the lens of children and caregivers, and to integrate play, joy, and beauty into safe street design. This interactive workshop builds on GDCI’s Designing Streets for Kids guidance, discussing street design strategies, how to engage kids, and why school streets are so critical to provide during the pandemic.
To help city staff transition from pandemic response to recovery, this workshop examines how to evaluate which temporary pop-ups should be converted to permanent projects. Panelists discuss an equity-centered approach to exploring metrics used to evaluate and prioritize projects, as well as frameworks to help consider and decide which projects to take from pop-up to permanent.
If you’re ready to step through the process of setting contextually-appropriate speed limits on city streets, then this workshop is for you. In this session, NACTO and GDCI staff overview the technical guidance in NACTO’s City Limits and upcoming Safe Speeds design guide, and walk through its applications on sample streets.
As part of our Streets for Kids webinar series, GDCI hosted an interactive webinar to discuss these issues and learn from successful practices and programs that have taken place in cities and school zones across the world—with an emphasis (in Part One) on North American contexts.
GDCI, in partnership with the Bernard van Leer Foundation, the FIA Foundation, Fondation Botnar, and Bloomberg Philanthropies hosted an online event discussing how cities can apply the guidance and strategies highlighted in Designing Streets for Kids.
